Louisiana Notary Exam Sample Questions and Answers 2022: Explanations Keyed to the Official Study Guide (Self-Study Sherpa Series)

Book Synopsis: SUPERSESED BY NEWER EDITION FOR 2023: Look for the latest version on this site (use this one with the 2022 purple study guide) ... Questions and answers in four separate tests—plus detailed explanations for each right and wrong answer, keyed to the page of the latest official state Study Guide—help coach students for the difficult exam. This unofficial resource at last takes notary prep to the next level by revealing the tricks of questions and formats, tactics for the test, and the law behind it. An edition for 2022.

Louisiana civil law notaries have unmatched functions, responsibilities, and opportunities—but the exam averages a 20% pass rate. Candidates need all the help they can get. The best prep classes and study groups recommend multiple practice questions to understand the format, content, and coverage of the actual exams the Secretary of State administers each year. Yet even the best workbooks and study aids are costly but barebones in the answers they provide. Their questions help, but students are left matching answers to page numbers. There’s no guidance on why they’re right—and even less about why other good options aren’t “best.”

This book fills that void with 130 questions and detailed clarifications, plus tactics illustrated by specific formats and options. Explanations are keyed in detail to the 2022 Fundamentals (state study guide). Dr. Childress, author of a best-selling supplemental book decoding the state study guide and teacher of Tulane’s undergraduate course in notary law, explains every twist he can think of that the examiners may try. Whether as a recommended supplement to a prep class, as spelled-out lagniappe to other available workbooks, or as a new tool for self-study, this workbook should become standard fare for anyone contemplating becoming a commissioned notary.

An affordable addition to the Self-Study Sherpa Series from Quid Pro Books.
